Which had at least one of the staunchest guys in the league (well one of the more vocal ones I guess) against it in that room. Most the names I’ve noticed have been linemen 21 players. Like 40% of our roster. Not just Dlineman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I think it's really going to continue to get worse around the league frankly. Between waning efficacy without subsequent boosters and Omicron liking being the new dominant variant soon (though perhaps less deadly according to early signs). This is just the start of it. Frankly it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if in a week or two we're missing a good portion of our team due to testing positive.

Point I was trying to make is if you have an opening and it can spread quick, each person increases the chances of the spread. If you’ve watched Lord of the Rings. The Dline room, from National perception, seemed to be the drainage gate at the base of helm’s deep. Worst place for it to hit and the most impactful. To be fair to the other guys though, I’m not sure if the other Dlinemen followed Sweat’s lead or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do everything right, go crazy on protocols and shut everything down, but as soon as you play a team that is infected it will spread fast. The league should take a one week hiatus to figure this out for sure, but as others said earlier in the thread it won't happen because money.

If the Omicron variant is as early warning signs point to, more transmissible and less deadly, then I'm hoping that next year we can effectively ease up on everything with the previous variants being outcompeted. In such a case, it'd more or less become flu status. But, I can not stress enough that this is just early indications and small sample sizes primarily from the UK and South Africa.

Hopefully we’ll have a couple weeks here to find out. But they should definitely look to preserving the on field product. Can you imagine getting to wild card weekend and this happens to a team? Especially if it’s like a #2 seed, totally shifts things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun logic. I like it when its absent. lol here’s your shovel, dig your hole further. The USA Today link that you posted looks to be accurate. You cited something from 2017. The USA Today article looks up to date. And it categorizes the “indiscretions” as a arrests, charged, cited, etc. If you just counted the cases listed as “arrest”, Dallas is way ahead. 24-15. Total “indiscretions”, Dallas: 28 - Phila: 20. Like, what are we even arguing here? You’re well aware Dallas’ MO on such things. It’s ok to be wrong. Just own it. Good lord. You must be a peach to live with. Edited December 16, 2021 by Jroc04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) So have they traced back the overall contact, who, what, where? I'm curious what the NFL's requirements are for a team to actually forfiet a game with that new rule they implemented in the offseason? 40% of the roster, seems like a serious outbreak to me? Not arguing fair, unfair, right or wrong but the actual policy the NFL themselves put in place? As suggested already, who's to say the Eagles playing Washington, doesn't in turn swap spots next week with an outbreak themselves?
